Plan Ahead: A Guide to the Miami Schools Fair & Conference

BKB Moms started the first school fair 6 years ago. Every year the fair hosts more and more parents who attend our fair and conference.

The event is a great way to learn more about school options, from preschool to private as well as public school options in Miami. Principals, Admissions Directors, teachers, and parent volunteers representing different grade levels and preschools/schools are on hand to answer questions and share information.

This year the fair takes place on Saturday, October 20, 2018, 9:00am to 1:00pm, at Bayside Pavilion Building, Mercy Campus (3663 South Miami Avenue, 33133 - Coconut Grove).

The fair can feel a bit overwhelming, but with a good attitude, some patience, and a full bottle of water, you will find many answers to your school questions.
